Love it or Hate it...

...cuz there's probably nothing in between. Heck, I haven't even decided yet on this one. This is my oldest and I saw the look on her face and the wind blowing her hair and I told her to freeze so that I could try to capture it. There's something fun and moody that I definately love about it. Then... it needed something else, so I decided to mess around with textures. I don't even remember what I did with this one, but it was fun playing with something new. So tell me... do you Love it or Hate it?

A Photo Shoot in My CAR...

...cuz where else are you gonna shoot, right?!? My oldest had soccer practice today and I brought my camera along cuz...well, you know. Anyway, the wind picked up and it was freezing so Me and the 2 youngest climbed into the car to wait. We had a whole hour to waste so what else was I to do?!? Can you tell that she's thrilled with me? I think I even got some decent backlit ones out of the bunch. What d'ya think!






and I wasn't gonna include this one cuz it's a bit soft, but.... All week I've had people telling me over and over how much little miss "b" looks JUST LIKE ME! I just don't see it. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and lets face it... I'm just not that cute. But today, when I opened this pic to edit... I saw it. I saw a glimpse of me in her ( and no - I don't always have a blank look on my face) It's actually that I think that she looks like my oldest brother in this one. Yup, Christian, I'm talking about you!

From the Weekend....

I've been feeling a bit unmotivated with this whole camera thing. I really am looking for some new inspiration.... maybe some better weather would help too. Anyway.. I'm not completely satisfied with these pics, but I got my camera out of the bag and did what i could... Maybe this week will be better...







..sorry... I hope I don't sound too grumpy! :)

JUST BECAUSE...

...this one makes me giggle... I can't help it.. look at that face!
This is another one taken at chuck-e-cheese in crappy lighting AND this one is taken through TWO pieces of glass. She's got her cute little face smooshed up against one of the game thingy's. Like I said... this one makes me giggle!

We all had a BLAST!

This is my oldest and her best little friend. They had an "early out" day last week so as soon as Cliff got home for lunch, I handed him J and The three of us headed out the door for a photo adventure. I had convinced myself that there were no "cool" spots in my rinky-dink town to take pictures. I was sure that if I ever wanted anything different I would have to drive an hour east or west to find something. But LOOK! I proved my self wrong! (and for all my home-town viewers, can you guess where we are?)




couldn't decide... black and white or color...

They thought that they were soooo cool... okay maybe they were!






Did I warn you yet that this was a PHOTO-OVERLOAD post?.....





another color or black and white decision...

another cool girl....

I found a fun,fun wall...



I told you that we all had fun!...


just one more....

Little Nut!

Whenever I try to get a picture of him, he gets as close as he possibly can to the lens and cheeses it for me. I almost never get a focus pic or one without distortion. He likes to try to find me through the lens. Who teaches them these things?

The weather has been cooperating...

...but I know that it won't last so I try to get out there once a day with my camera to play. Unfortunately not all my kids are cooperating as well as the weather.
